I wasn't going to bother replying but it needs to be said.
Firstly, this isn't the Robj20 thread. I appreciate you had a tough time with your son, and I am truly sorry your family had to go through that, but please remove the chip from your shoulder. Just because you went through that doesn't mean you have more insight than others.
I made a light hearted comment that was not directly aimed at anyone in particular, certainly not everyone, although you seem to have taken it as if it were aimed at you. Again, not just my experience but my friends and family, I have a massive family with lots of children. I don't see where you get I am in the minority from?
Just because you find something odd, doesn't mean it is. I refer back to your "don't touch my child" episode when everyone else was apparently odd and neglectful.
You keep insinuating others neglect their children dude, what ever makes you happy.
Your the one that keeps bringing my situation into it. I posted for everyone in here, of you read this thread from the beginning you and your family are the minority. Most people find it damn hard.
I don't know your specific circumstances but job, previous lifestyle and other commitments all come into it.
Plus I'd say on the difficulty front i do have more insight into what we add parents can put up with when we need to.
So the next new dad that thinks he can't do it can read my story and realise yes he can.
I don't think your comment was aimed at me, but unless you were replying to someone specific, of take that to mean everyone.
And i have never once told someone they neglect their child.
Anyway, something were struggling with. Getting him to drink water, he will have the initial sip and that's it, he gets at most two 5oz bottles a day now of milk so the rest is solid food. We do a fresh 100ml bottle of water and almost none goes by the end of the day.
Weve tried different juices but he still doesn't really want it.
